| Chapter Nine Over the next two years, Luke planned and rejected a lot of escape plans. He even got out a few times but was beaten and brought back. He did keep on pulling the camera that they placed in the bedroom and finally they gave up trying. Every month, Stefan brought them pictures and some of Lucky�s drawings. The walls were covered with those pictures and every holiday, Luke and Laura wrote to him. Making up lies of why they couldn�t come. Luke was waiting for Stefan to arrive. He had told Laura to stay in the bedroom. He was planning to do something he never thought he would ever do. After three years in this prison, Luke was about to give up. Stefan walked in and noticed that Laura wasn�t around. He was about to turn around when Luke said, �Don�t worry, Cassadine. I�m not planning anything. I have a deal to make with your family. Let Laura and Lucky go and I will do anything you say. You want me to jump through hoops, I�ll ask how high. Just let my family go,� Luke begged. Stefan looked at him in shock. He never thought he would ever hear those words come from Luke�s mouth. Stefan looked around and motioned him to sit down. �Luke, they have what they want. You can beg and bargain all you want. They want you to suffer. However, I�m going to do something for you and this will stay between us. I can�t bring you Lucky but I�m going to do the next best thing. I�m in charge of all the videotapes on both compounds. I know for a fact that no one is watching us right now. On my visit, I�m going to bring you a tape of Lucky doing everyday things and I will have a tape every time after that. I just want one thing. Don�t give up on getting out, because if you do, there is no hope for Lucky. He is holding on only with one dream. His father will come and save him,� Stefan said. Luke looked at Stefan in disbelief. This was the first time any of them stated that Lucky wasn�t happy. He realized right then that he was buying Helena�s lies and was determined to get out. Luke had one goal now and that was to save his son. �You have a deal, Cassadine. But, I have a condition. Keep Lucky safe for Laura and me until I can get to him and help him understand why we aren�t there. I know you can�t tell him the truth but you can make something up.� Luke said.
